With a new wave of federal highway work expected to come with the passage of the federal infrastructure bill, the bidding and oversight of these jobs could get complicated. In October, the Federal Highway Administration awarded a $10-million, two-year contract to fully migrate the bidding and construction management systems of the Federal Lands Highway program to Aurigo Software’s Masterworks suite, a big shift for the agency.
The contract covers the bidding, project management and construction management of work on FLH’s federally owned assets. The agency’s work includes oversight of 500,000 miles of roads, 8,500 bridges and over 400 transit systems across all 50 states. The two-year contract comes with possible renewals for up to 10 years total.
